Some famous British magician created a fake port complete with fake bomb explosions to confuse the German night bombers to drop at the wrong time
That allowed AA and other defenses to be set up at the real port, and ships and supplies to get in, which proved pivotal in the upcoming battle.
We had cardboard tanks to make the enemy think they were vastly outnumbered
Truly amazing the tales of strategic illusion out of WWII
